An appeal has been put out by police in South Wales on behalf of the coroner regarding Alan James Worthington who passed away on November 15.

Mr Worthington's death is not being considered suspicious, but more information about his life is being sought and police who are putting together a file into the circumstances of his death are keen to trace his family and friends.

The coroner has noted that Mr Worthington died at the age of 71 at his home in Bryn Llewellyn, Alltwen, Pontardawe.

He was born in 1947 and is originally from the Devon and Plymouth area, where he lived with his parents, brother and sister.
